O What a Mystery

Fellow Labourers-

I lift this paragraph directly from today's article. "This astounding claim should alert us to several factors of which we are often not quite aware. In John's Gospel, we consistently see the unfolding of the mystery of Incarnation. There is a unity between the Father and the Son that we cannot ignore. In chapter 10, John records Jesus proclaiming his oneness with the Father. He uses the neuter gender in the Greek language, implying oneness of substance or essence, and emphatically not oneness of Person. (If he had wanted to mean oneness of Person, he would have used the masculine gender.) This is fundamentally important but is not often heard. Simply put, Jesus says that he is of one essence with the Father, but is not the same Person."

This I believe confirms exactly what we believe that there is only one person in the Godhead. You see God is a Spirit and he took on personality in Jesus through the incarnation. In Jesus dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily. He did not cease to be God when he became a man. He changed his nature not who he is. He cannot cease to be God and His glory he will not share with another.

Pax Vobiscum
